A court in Baghdad has begun its session to deliver the verdict in the trial of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein for crimes against humanity.
Saddam Hussein and seven co-defendants were charged with killing 148 villagers in the mostly Shia town of Dujail.
If found guilty, Saddam could be sentenced to death.
A total curfew was imposed on Baghdad and two other provinces ahead of the verdict, amid fears of a violent reaction from Saddam's supporters.

Let this be a day this monster and his staff be given the ultimate sentence, death, for their crimes against humanity. The lives of over 2800 troops lost have assured that this day of justice would come to pass.

They didn't say why Ramsey was ejected.
Ramsey Clark was visible in the background of the video shown just seconds ago wearing headphones. Perhaps the ejection happened after. They just said Clark was protesting the verdicts. Note 20 minute video delay.
